hyperspectral analysis. Different optical parameters (planar and scalar irradiances) will be estimated from the uprising and downrising spectral profiles. The averaged values will be used to estimate apparent (AOP) and inherent (IOP) optical properties [7][8]. The last analysis block will combine the data obtained with the sonde with external data obtained from different instruments and methods. Calibration methods will be developed for using the hyperspectral measurements as a reference for remote sensing (mult ispectral and hyperspectral) observations. Utilities for analyzing time and space series will also be included, specially for relating the biological experimental data (obtained at much coarser resolution) with the measurements obtained with the new instrumentation
